Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Concept

In a computer, processing components either transform data or direct its movement. Primary memory holds working data for immediate CPU access, whereas secondary storage retains data outside primary memory.

A matching question is solved by assigning each component to its defining function and then checking that every description is used exactly once.

Application

Component

Defining function and match

ALU (A)

Performs arithmetic and logical calculations — II

Control Unit (B)

Directs input-output flow within the CPU — III

Pen Drive (C)

Provides removable secondary or offline storage — IV

Main Memory (D)

Provides immediate access to active data and instructions — I

Cross-check

  • A–II, B–I, C–IV, D–III assigns immediate-access storage to the control unit and CPU flow direction to main memory.

  • A–I, B–III, C–IV, D–II assigns immediate-access storage to the ALU and arithmetic-logical calculation to main memory.

  • A–IV, B–III, C–II, D–I swaps the roles of the ALU and the pen drive.

Therefore, the complete matching is A–II, B–III, C–IV, D–I.
